A report from CBS this week revealed the working conditions of tens of thousands of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) who work in mines to extract the cobalt needed for lithium batteries.

A recent Bloomberg article has brought to light a harsh reality, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing child labor rates in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): The appetite for electric cars is driving a boom in small-scale cobalt production in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where some mines have been found to […]

A new coalition of groups in Arizona is seeking to force utilities in the state to generate more power from renewable energy beyond the 15 percent the state currently requires, according to a new report this week.

Legislative leaders in both the Oregon House of Representatives and Oregon Senate cast doubt on whether a proposed carbon tax bill could pass in either legislative body this year, according to the Portland Tribune.

Although Trump has promised to speed up federal permits and regulatory review, his influence doesn’t extend to local communities or states. That’s where activists are working aggressively to get regulators, lawmakers and the courts on their side, Kleeb and others said.

…Call it “pipeline purgatory,” said Matthew Hoza, an analyst at the Colorado-based consulting firm BTU Analytics LLC. By exploiting local landowner concerns and state permit processes, activists are ensnaring projects “in unending litigation on a state level,” making them “not really alive, not really dead,” he said.

It’s one more item on the Environmentalist Left’s anti-human agenda. They also applaud President Obama’s efforts to stop energy projects before he leaves office.

Of course, the Environmentalist Left doesn’t care if Americans pay more for energy. As long as donors line their pockets, environmental groups are seeing plenty of green.
